I refer to the sentance - Access to shared mobility, such as e-bikes, e-scooters and electric vehicle car clubs is encouraged through a Travel Plan for medium and longer distance journeys.
e-scooters are illegal on public roads and paths. Thus I don't believe this policy is legal.

I support the principle of the policy (with the exception of one legal point regarding e-scooters separately raised).

However my current experience is that too many journeys to primary and secondary schools use private cars. We need to do much more to actively discourage this.

Rename policy to make its purpose clearer and cross reference it to the Fast Track services mentioned in policies SA6 and SA8.
